The president-elect and his company were sued some more for discriminating against people who looked like John Lewis.

And how John Lewis looks is important. The Tweeter-in-Chief wrongly assumed that Lewis’ district was in horrible shape and crime-infested. Our petty president-elect didn’t care about facts, he made assumptions because Lewis is black. He made up racist lies.

The people of Lewis’ district responded to the president-elect with an outpouring of support for Lewis and for their district.

John Lewis has been reelected 14 times, only once with less than 70 percent of the vote.

Lewis has dedicated his life to fighting people exactly like Trump.

Trump spent decades discriminating against people who look like Lewis. Right up to the moment he discriminated against Lewis himself.

After a day of scathing criticism, Trump offered another tweet about Lewis.

Ignore Trump’s poor grammar – as written, Trump wants help burning inner-cities – and look at the continued overt racism. While crime-rates have declined, the resident-elect maintains the racist view that the inner-cities are ‘crime infested.’

Probably the most disturbing aspect of the tweets are his original numbers, the tens of thousands of shares and re-tweets of his racist lies. The tens of thousands who agree with his racism and possibly millions more who fail to notice.

Trump was born into unimaginable privilege where he inherited hundreds of millions of dollars.

Lewis was born into a racist apartheid where he was denied a library card, the right to vote or the right to travel, work or live as he wished.

History and headlines tell us what each man has done with the life he was given.

But the racism of the past isn’t past. It’s here today, right now. In the words, actions and hearts of the president-elect and members of his administration. Rightly, Lewis is concerned that the advances he dedicated his life to will be washed away by the sort of men who swung the clubs that cracked his skull.

They say character is what we do when no one is watching.

Alone with his Twitter account, Trump’s character flaws shine brightly. He exhibits the racism in his heart.

John Lewis has the character that makes a nation change direction and to do what is right and moral.

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
A sad day is approaching indeed when a dangerous man with no sense of right and wrong will lead this country. I stand with Lewis and all those who refuse to attend the inauguration. So many people I once thought to have good judgment are on the wrong side of history.

So true! We all fail to follow Christ at times but His directions are indeed very clear. Ultra-conservative ideology does not trump Christianity! Thank you for posting this Truth as starkly opposed to perverted idolatrous false teaching from charlatan pharisees many of them racists indeed..:-( Excellent article!
